[QUOTE="Cryptos, post: 4303664, member: 58439"] Another thing to keep in mind is that having an embedded ranged weapon or implement is basically a slightly weaker version of 4e's Quick Draw feat. With Quick Draw, you basically are assumed to have whichever weapon you're attacking with ready as part of your attack action. So a wizard with quick draw could go from having both hands full at the start of their turn with a longbow or two-handed weapon to holding their orb to attack with a spell as part of the standard attack action, and then if they subsequently made a melee attack, they're armed again as part of that action. Except for a warforged, in many cases they've got to find the right equipment or have something done to have the item installed get that benefit and it only works for that one thing. Quick draw readies whatever you want to use with no extra actions. So at best it's 1/2 to 3/4ths of a feat in terms of benefit. [/QUOTE]
